Drill Press Pulley

[[email protected]]

I have a drill press with a 1/2 HP motor and a pulley with 3 sizes. The motor is shot and I have a 3 HP motor that fits (kinda)

The shaft is 1/2" diameter on the pulley and 5/8 on the motor. There is not enough meat in the pulley to drill it out. The larger motor had a single pulley and it works with that. Where can I find a 3 sized pulley for the bigger shaft??

(AKA where is the pulley store?)

Thanks

I made my own pulleys for a Canedy Otto vintage drill. You may need a lathe and a milling machine,

I kind of worry that a drill press that was designed for a 1/2hp motor is going to have problems surviving with a 3hp motor if it is ever heavily loaded (on purpose or by accident).

That is some beautiful work! Nice job.

I cannot take all of the credit. I subscribe to Adam Booth aka Abomb79 and Keith Fenner. aka Turn Wright machine, channels on You Tube. These guys have the skills and share them freely.
It is all about learning how to grind the cutters and set the angles.
Thanks for the kind words.

THANK YOU Senlow. I've been looking for one for my old Delta W/M bandsaw.

More likely we have a typo going here? He probably meant 1/3hp and no 3hp motor I've ever seen has a 5/8" shaft.

Most any good local hardware store will have a 5/8" ID 4-step Congress pulley on the shelf. It won't be an exact match for the OEM, but will work. However, used motors with 1/2" shaft are cheap and thick on the ground, save that pulley and keep watch for another motor.

You always need a lathe and a mill and a shaper and a tool cutter grinder
